I was interested in finding the message Larry mentions in the archives,
so I tried to search the archives, but I wasn't able to do it right.
I tried searching for
+cp +bug
+bug +cp
+bug +faylor
+bug +faylor +cp
+bug +faylor cp
I kept getting
Keyword "+cp" was not found in our database.
With the search terms-
+bug +faylor cp
The 22nd match was Re: Bug/Help on cp and mv using 1.3.2 from Christopher
Faylor.
The score was 53, match was 2. This was more what I was looking for.
I am trying to use the archives more and learning to help myself-
I don't understand why +cp didn't work as a search term.
Is there somewhere else this message should go?
Thanks,
Peter

Would this be the same bug in cp that Chris Faylor announced a fix for last
week?
